So let’s finish searching the house? Just to keep things moving?

Grel turns the to the un-investigated door and looks it over before slowly opening to see what lies beyond.

perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

I'm inclined towards explore the hidden room, grab the book, and go

The chamber Grel opens is a mirror image in miniature of the main bedroom, reflecting the same elegant austerity. A bronze case rests on the bed's side table and a wardrobe stands closed against the wall.

Grel feels into the room with his Spirit Sense and detecting magic before proceeding.

Karasuma will move up to enter the smaller bedroom provided that some sort of indication is given that the room is clear of dangers.

Sorry for delay, and standing by for intel. If it looks like the box is not-magical, Karasuma will put it into his Handy Haversack. Likewise if there's anything worthwhile in the wardrobe. He will be neat about this, though, attempting to minimize disruption to the local environment with the asset removals.

*If* that all goes off without a hitch:

Inside the wardrobe, Karasuma finds a battered pack of what appears to be adventurer's gear. (The box is non-magical, though there is something magical inside.)

I'm ready for the extraction of the book when you are. What is everyone except Karasuma going to do?

Artoria continues her vigil over the group, concerning herself with protecting against threats. ”I trust our more dissembling members to find what we need. I would just get in your way.”

Before Karasuma retrieves the journal, Not-Trixie beckons him over and taps him with her wand. "Just in case," she murmurs before slipping out the library door and back into the dining hall.

Using wand of invisibility on Karasuma.

Ok, Karasuma has the box. Let's get out of here.

"Gladly. If we are stopped, Karasuma should continue while we distract." Sarma suggests, moving to pass by the guardians and make for the hedge entrance.

With everyone safely outside, Karasuma is able to take the notebook from the library shelf without interference. The snake-like guardians animate as soon as the stealthy tengu moves the book, but they are unable to locate him and he is easily able to slip out.

You are easily able to slip out the maze by retracing your steps, and luckily no hedges animate to stand in your way this time.

After you are safely away from the manor grounds, Emilio stops you and says, "This is where we must part ways. Thank you again for helping me. I know your boss does not give anything away for free, but maybe this will be enough payment that he will not expect some shadowy favor from me in the future."

With that, Emilio hands you a token and tells you that it will let you bypass any of the wards on Muhlia al-Jakri's stronghold.

Anything else you want to tell Emilio or give him?

"You have our gratitude," Not-Trixie murmurs demurely as she holds out the packet of 'intel'. "We were sent to give this to you, from our boss to yours. Please don't let it fall into the wrong hands!"

Bluff if needed: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

"We will certainly speak well of your assistance in this when we report." Sarma promises with a warm smile.

Grel offers a small wave and awkward smile unsure how to leave it with Emilio.

Emilio is grateful for your help and you've sufficiently convinced him of your identities. He promises to deliver your message to al-Jakri and wishes you well.

You are able to return to Skyreach without incident, and Abrus Valsin congratulates you on a job well done. He's convinced that you were able to pull off the rescue without implicating the Pathfinder Society.

Nice work everyone! Full XP, prestige, and gold. (It's super easy to lose money in the scenario.)

Chronicle sheets can be found here. Let me know if anything on them needs to be corrected. Thanks for a fun game!

If any of you are going to be at GenCon, feel free to stop by the Pathfinder Academy section of the Sagamore and say hi! I'll be there most of the weekend.

thanks for the game! The chronicle looks great. I will be at GenCon; I'll try to remember to stop by

any one of you a cleric that could cast masterwork transformation on Darkpaw's chain shirt before the scenario ends?

Artoria bows to her comrades. "Thank you everyone for your great skills with deception. I am sorry that I could not be of more assistance. However, I am also glad we were not discovered and my skills with the sword were not needed."

Didn't want to be the annoying paladin on a stealth mission, so sorry for not taking the lead more. Figured it was the right time to let the stealthy people shine :D

Fun one and very cool chronicle. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you very much for running!

Karasuma appears when things have settled down a bit.

"It's not so much 'deception' as a failure of perception on the part of the people we were dealing with, at least as far as I'm concerned. You helped out immensely during the fighting and being the support we could draw upon should we need it. We got lucky, it could have easily have gone the other way."

It's not very often that Stealth is that handy.

"You are quite the master of perceptions, Master Tazou." Sarma grins before turning back to Artoria. "May Lord Keltheald bring you glorious vistas in your future travels and our paths cross favorably once again."
